Out of this world gone mad, God calls a man named Abram. Abram his not a righteous man by any means, but God graciously chooses him, commands him to leave his land, and gives him a wonderful promise: “I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.” God is making a promise that he will restore all that was lost in Eden through this one man and his family. God is not hoping Abram will do something amazing and heal the world. Rather, God is telling Abram that He will heal the world through him, by blessing Abram and his family, growing them into a huge nation, and bringing his blessing back to all the nations through them.
